Keeping animals SAFE

Giving a voice to those
that cannot speak is
motivation behind sup-
porting animal charity
SAFE.
Clare Arthur is one of
the volunteers who will
take to the streets to
raise money for the
annual appeal on Decem-
ber 17 and 18.
I think they do a
really good job of bring-
ing people's attention to
some of the more
unethical
farming
practices. It's nice to sup-
port them in a practical
way,'' the Howick resi-
dent says.
It's important that
someone stands up for
animal rights because
they can't exactly do it
themselves.''
SAFE campaigns on a
wide range of animal
welfare issues and has
put unethical farming
practices into the politi-
cal and media spotlight.
The charity continues
to work to expose and
challenge horrific con-
ditions animals are
forced to endure in the
industries of farming,
entertainment and scien-
tific research.
SAFE executive direc-
tor Anthony Terry says
they rely on volunteers
and donations to make
their work happen.
SAFE's Christmas
appeal is our most vital
fundraiser. Without the
public's help we cannot
continue to effectively
advocate for animals in
the future,'' Mr Terry
says.
Money raised will help
fund campaigns and
humane education pro-
jects.
Mrs Arthur encour-
ages people to support
the appeal. I'd like
people to part with their
money to make sure that
all animals have some-
one standing up for their
rights and their ethical
treatment.
At this time of the
year SPCA animals get a
lot of press -- the cute
fluffy kittens and
puppies -- but who's
standing up for the less
cuddly animals?''
